What a difference a few months can make. When it arrived on PS3 and Xbox 360 in early April 2014, Don Bradman Cricket 14 was a seriously ambitious yet notably flawed cricket simulation in serious need of post-release patching (click here for the original console version review). It essentially felt like it was released a couple of months too early; the recipe was good but the dish was undercooked. But credit where it is due: developer Big Ant has listened to fans and continued to refine the game in the subsequent months, and those tweaks are all evident in the PC release of the game along with an appreciable bump to the visuals and loading times. In short, Don Bradman Cricket 14 on PC can lay a genuine claim to being the finest cricket game ever made…
